Preview: Armageddon fallout

 

December 16, 2007

 

After scores are settled and titles were decided at Armageddon, our Superstars will “wing” it to Buffalo, N.Y., and the HSBC Arena for Monday Night Raw.

 

WWE Champion Randy Orton almost failed to weather the assault from challenger Chris Jericho. It took the surprising interference from SmackDown commentator John Bradshaw Layfield to allow Orton to escape with his gold via disqualification.

 

Why did JBL attack Jericho? Y2J has invited the self-proclaimed “wrestling god” to appear on Raw and address the controversial ending to the WWE Championship Match. Will JBL show up? Will Y2J seek revenge on the Legend Killer and/or JBL on the shores of Lake Erie?

 

Ric Flair was on the winning side last week as Evolution reunited at Raw’s 15th Anniversary Spectacular. But the Nature Boy will have his career on the line once again tonight as he battles the Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga, one-on-one in the ring. Will the crafty 16-time World Champion be able to conquer the powerful former Intercontinental Champion? Or will Buffalo be the final stop in the illustrious career of the Nature Boy?

 

Randy Orton already knows who he’ll defend his WWE Championship against at the Royal Rumble in January. Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy stunned the Mellon Arena crowd with a victory over Triple H to earn a WWE Championship opportunity at the Rumble next month. What does Orton have to say about his upcoming challenge? How will Triple H react to Hardy’s upset win? Will he want a rematch from the “Rainbow-haired Warrior?”

 

Shawn Michaels picked up an impressive win over Mr. Kennedy at Armageddon. Fireworks will fly in Buffalo tonight as HBK teams with Jeff Hardy to face Kennedy and Orton in tag team action.

 

The title train keeps on rolling for Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix. Can anyone in the Divas locker room rise up and upset the Glamazon to take her gold after her victory over Mickie James at Armageddon? First, the Divas will have their hands full in a "Santa's Little Helpers" tag team match to kick off the event with a healthy dose of holiday cheer for our fans.

 

Find out as Monday Night Raw airs from Buffalo, N.Y., tonight at 9/8 CT, live on USA Network.

I don't know much about things these days, but when did Bradshaw ever earn the title of "wrestling god"?

[Hawk 34 0]

He's a heel and he gave himself a pompous self-serving nickname when he held the title for 10 months.

Okay. Thanks.

I expect Ashley to probably appear on Raw to challenge Beth Phoenix now that she is available to do so (she couldn't appear on any programming until after the Survivor finale aired).

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

So does Flair have two matches this week, or do you suppose his SmackDown match is off now?

Last I heard/saw she had changed her look quite a bit, she took out her lip rings and cut her hair shorter.

Her hair was a big shorter and multi colored, but she had her lip rings back last night for the Survivor Reunion Show.

Kelly Kelly's a heel this week?

 

Vikky looks like Santa Skank.

 

EDIT: Never mind, Lillian just screwed up the heel team intro.

[slimm44 0]

Wow a shot at Ellen Degeneres out of nowhere.

[milliondollarchamp 0]

is it just me or is Kelly kelly actually improving

[Exslade ZX 0]

Would have been sweet if they had done the whole 'Four Corner Massacre' from Ready to Rumble lol.

[JPopStarKami 0]

Wow, listen to the pop Jeff gets.

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

Vince = Saddam?

 

That's a new one.

[Brett Favre 0]

If Hardy can cut promos, it's over.

[Exslade ZX 0]

Ha, gotta love Vince's acting. Those facial expressions are priceless.

 

Umm...? So, did Vince just have a heart attack...or is he just really really sad? :/

[Broward83 0]

I'm waiting for a Raven like speech out of Vince now that he's in the corner and sitting down

[Brett Favre 0]

What the hell was that?

 

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

How many nervous breakdowns has Vince had? He's got to be ready for a padded room by now.

[Guest cheetoe]

What the hell was that?

 

 

[Twisted Intestine 0]

Wow, never expected to see Jeff get mic time!

 

You could tell her was a little nervous, and his timing was off... but I see potential. I think he could become a better promo with more practice.

[Brett Favre 0]

He didn't seem nervous. I wish they gave him more time.

[Exslade ZX 0]

Oh shoot....will we finally see that 'long awaited' Regal/HHH feud?

 

He never did do shit after HHH destroyed him...as far as I remember.

[Golgo 13 0]

Vince has had three or four of these breakdowns this year alone.

 

I do wish Regal would start wrestling again.

 

 

[Twisted Intestine 0]

lol, Vince actually made me laugh pretty hard there.

[Twisted Intestine 0]

He didn't seem nervous. I wish they gave him more time.

 

I thought he seemed to be talking pretty fast/nearly stumbling a few of his words. I don't blame him though, he never gets any mic time. I don't think I even remember him talking in TNA. I'd love to see him cut promos with Orton.. Maybe he can become even bigger than anyone thought.

[Guest cheetoe]

Reagals kickin some ass.

 

Whoops spoke to soon.

 

BRASS KNUCKS!

 

aww.
